Guided by an overwhelming sense of justice, Tommy sets out to snare the perpetrator with the help of his loyal friends.

A family mystery adventure about a boy whose courage, imagination and comic book hero, The Mystic, help him bring justice and romance to Angel Square. Based on the book by Brian Doyle.
